Grand River Smallies?

I'll be renting a house on Little Black Lake next week and was hoping to get on some trout fishing without driving too far. I won't have a boat, so places to wade or shore fish are best. The Grand River is close to the house. Is there trout in the grand river? If not, I assume there are smallmouth. Where is a good place to wade fish for smallies on the grand river. Or any closeby trout fisheries that I am overlooking? p.s. croton dam is too far. Thanks.

Wherever you find wadable depths plus a bit of cover you should find smallies. I have fished the Grand between Eaton Rapids and Grand Rapids and consistantly take fish in water between 3-4' deep. I'd suggest focusing on areas with firm bottoms and a fair amount of current. Heat and oxygen start to be factors this time of year.

ABOUT

Founded in 1999, Michigan-Sportsman.com started as a collection of links to Michigan related sites, and a series of manually edited blogs. It was a marriage of my passions for the outdoors and the internet.
In late 1999 we started our first message board. After going through 3 different message board softwares, we settled on one in late 2000. Photo galleries, classifieds, product reviews were added in later years. It was a social network before the term was coined. Users have self organized get togethers and many have formed long lived friendships with others who share the same interests in the outdoors through the site. Thanks for your patronage - Steve
